Kyte Baby
Kyte Baby's Sustainability Rating:
Poor
Kyte Baby's Poor rating is due to a lack of published sustainability information. It’s a smaller brand, which means it likely has fewer resources for robust sustainability efforts and reporting. When Kyte Baby publishes more data, we’ll be able to do a more thorough review.
Kyte Baby uses a majority of OEKO-TEX rayon from bamboo along with some lower and higher emissions materials like flax linen and spandex, respectively. Bamboo can be sourced responsibly with lower emissions and ecotoxicity, but Kyte Baby doesn't share any information on its sourcing strategy, so we assume it's sourced via harmful conventional methods. However, it helps lower its product waste by running a resale group and donating production scraps to local organizations.
Kyte Baby shares that it uses recyclable and biodegradable packaging materials, but it doesn't identify what these are. We assume most smaller brands are using a mix of virgin petro-plastic and uncertified cardboard.
